This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar .. www.marketscreener.com/news/us-navy...

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades. And he’s supposed to run America’s national security. • No government security experience • No law enforcement background • No intelligence work • No military service • Not even a bachelor’s degree

Senate Dems letter to Trump: “We request Rubio & Hegseth immediately appear under oath - in public hearings - to answer questions the American ppl have about the goals, scope, & end game of this war — explain your actions to the American ppl whose sons & daughters are on the front lines of this war”

No, you sycophantic chode. He’s not stopping the threat, he’s encouraging an attack.

Rachel Maddow: “The U.S. economy under Trump lost 92,000 jobs last month — over the past year, while Trump's been in office, the country has lost nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs— Gas prices have now spiked as high as they've ever been while he’s been president — with the worst still to come”

Trump denies responsibility for the deadly girls school bombing as evidence points to the U.S. The Pentagon underreports wounded troops. Iran threatens Hormuz shipping. Oil markets swing. GOP infighting grows. Lindsey Graham melts down on TV. And more.

“The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (and counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (and counting) for nothing. He hurt the US and global economies, destabilized the Middle East, and will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless . . .”

“Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said polio traces have been found in New York sewage. RFK Jr. has ordered it to be hidden. He warned CDC officials that they would be fired and blacklisted for performing their duties. I report on bird flu, COVID-19, TB . . .” substack.com/@sarscov2cov...

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Vote Kat.

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud — the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

When Trump was voted out in 2020, it was such a relief. The 24/7/365 humiliation was over. Here we are again & he's crazier than ever. Trump's not the most evil one.
